I didn't end up wearing this one but it was flirty and feminine. Straps and neckline expose a lot of shoulder and chest. The fabric was very lightweight so it would be great for a warm weather event. It was well-lined and forgiving through the waist so shapewear isn't necessary. If you want something with a defined waist, though, this is not for you. I'm 5'2" and the length was great. Pattern of the fabric is not stunning, rather understated but classy!

I didn't end up wearing this one. It is unlined and the fabric is very thin and clingy. If you have a punky vintage style, I could see this being stunning but it wasn't flattering on me. The slit in the front is quite high. I would've needed shapewear because of the thin fabric but the slit would have revealed it.

Size down for this sparkly stunner. The top is a little stretchy and forgiving and makes the overall look slightly more casual. I wore it for a fancy rehearsal dinner at the GA Aquarium and it was just perfect. Wouldn't be dressy enough for the black tie wedding. I wore shapewear because the front is flat to your belly. VERY low cut so make sure to have a black plunge-style bra. Wear dark-toned gold jewelry or black/pewter, rather than silver. I'm only 5'2" and length was great with 3in. heels.

I wore this beauty to a black tie wedding and it was gorgeous. Size down unless you are very busty. I am a 38C, size 10 but the 8 in this one was perfect. The fabric is wrinkle-free so it was ready to wear right out of the bag. I'm 5'2" and it was the perfect length w/ 3in heels. I recommend a large necklace to balance the fullness of the skirt - I had yellow gold with pink beads but rose gold would also match perfectly. The pictures don't do justice to how shimmery the fabric looks in person.

Didn’t end up wearing this dress because the fit wasn’t quite right. The fabric is very soft and flowy and I loved the feel of it, though. The bodice just didn’t have enough structure so I ended up feeling a little lumpy. I imagine it would be a more flattering fit if you are not so petite through the shoulders to give the top more structure.

Size down for this gorgeous dress if you are pear shaped! I am 5’2” and 160lbs and usually wear a 10/12 in pants but my shoulders and upper body frame are on the petite side. The 8R was a perfect fit. The length was perfect with 3 inch heels. The V-neck is quite low so make sure you have a “plunge” style black bra. I’m a 38C and felt confident in it. The fabric of the top has plenty of stretch and is thick but soft. The fabric of the skirt is MUCH more shimmery and dressy in person than the photo. I wore sparkly rose gold jewelry with it and it matched perfectly. Regular gold jewelry will be too “yellow” toned to match. Also, the POCKETS! I could carry my mask, Covid vax card, lipstick, and phone hands-free! Only complaint is that the zipper puckers outward just a bit and looks slightly lumpy. At first, I thought it was because the size was too small but when I tried on the 10, which was clearly too big, the zipper did the same thing. I wore a semi-sheer black wrap because it was chilly so the zipper issue wasn’t noticeable.
